Events in Downtown Northampton
Featured Events
The Downtown Northampton Association creates the moments that make downtown feel alive.
From art-filled evenings to food festivals and winter spectacles, our events give students something fun to do, families a reason to explore, and businesses the foot traffic they need to thrive. Many of our events are free, walkable, and designed for all ages.
Come for the fun. Stay for the community.
Arts Night Out
Arts Night Out is a monthly event that transforms downtown into a walkable celebration of art, music, performance, and local talent. Galleries, shops, and restaurants stay open late, creating the perfect night out with friends or family.
Taste of Northampton
The Taste of Northampton showcases the incredible culinary scene that makes our city shine. With tastings, outdoor dining, and downtown energy, it’s a can’t-miss weekend for food lovers.
Ice Art Festival
Each winter, downtown becomes an open-air gallery of live ice carving and glowing sculptures. Ice Art draws visitors from across the region and brings warmth to the coldest season.
